I have tried heaps(too many to remember) but I think I have found a combination that is as close to perfect as can be. Webroot spysweeper and protector plus 2000 antivirus.
Nearly forgot webroot window washer to clear your tracks,trial here: http://www.webroot.com/consumer/downloads/
F-secure Internet Security 2006 and hosts file (www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm) to block spyware and unwanted content.
Zone alarm pro, AVG free anti virus and microsoft anti spyware (going to install spysweeper soon).. also ewido, ad aware spybot and the rest..
i really like pest patrol also its one of the best out there,-kemisti- do you think Nod32 is lots better than Trend Mirco i have been considering switching and do you have the link for smitfraudfix 2.45 please or the latest verison
@aabbccdd: Nod32 and trend micro are both good. I'd prefer Nod32 over trend, anyway. Smitfraudfix -> http://siri.urz.free.fr/Fix/SmitfraudFix.zip
kemisti, looks like iam clean right?
